The Drunkard's Progress

So I am called an enabler, an occasional alcoholic (I disagree with that), a lush (why???), but never a drunkard. I love old photos/cartoons and their total sensationalistic messages. They always have to go to an extreme when they talk about stuff they do not agree with. The drunkards final stage? Suicide, because after all the stages everyone hates you, and you hate yourself. There is no cure you must kill yourself, you can never stop drinking. I guess this is what led to the failure known as national prohibition. From the first glass to the grave they said. So far I've attained Steps 1, 3, 4, and possibly 5.
